I think that argument is garbage. The second difference in the two is sexual orientation. Joe is straight and Jane is a lesbian in your example. If Jane was fired because she's a lesbian, she's very clearly not covered under title 7 because it mentions nothing about orientation, but if she was fired because she was a woman it would be. That argument says discrimination based on sex and orientation are the same thing. It was decided in a later case that religious institutions get immunity from discrimination based on orientation because certain same sex "interactions" are strictly against their beliefs. Does this mean that religious institutions are also immune from discriminating based on sex alone now?
I'm not arguing for discrimination based on orientation, or even arguing against a law that says so (assuming religious freedoms aren't infringed). That isn't the job of the courts to read that into existing law, it's the job of the legislature to draft it.
When it comes to the court I don't care if the outcome benefits the left or the right, I care much more about whether or not the decision is constitutional and based completely on how the law was written and what those words meant at the time of writing. The supreme court being garbage has nothing to do with conspiracy theories, just garbage judges.
Your strategy is how we lose every single time.And how do you think that ad will play in some hotly contested senate seats?
Politicization of the SCOTUS is bastardization of our government. Judgement of court based on decisions rather than the legal arguments is ridiculous. Regardless if you agree with the outcome, the SCOTUS is doing what it's supposed to do - upholding the written law.
Frankly all notions of conservative or liberal should be irrelevant when it comes to the court, it's sad that it's not.
By this point Trump shouldn't be able to appoint another Supreme Court justice anyway, if we're going to stick to the standard set in 2015.
Congress includes the Senate. Civics 101.The house has no say.
Exactly. Kind of my point earlier. If the conservatives continue to "play nice" and "by the rules" that are not really rules at all, then expect the left to win every single election and get everything they want to ram their Marxist agenda down people's throats. The Repubic leadership needs to think out of the box. Be unpredictable. Nothing is worse than the unpredictable enemy be it in politic, military, sports, or even academia. Likely the Pubics don't have the balls to ram a SCOTUS judge in the final 4 months; but they could legally do so.There is no "standard". There are no fucking rules. If the liberals think precedent means anything, they will be sorely disappointed.
Whose side are you on?
Other than his twitter page has made him so unpalatable that he could lose Texas.has done well
That question deserves to be asked of all the left wingers that wish that not only upon our current President and probably most of his cabinet, but everybody that voted for him, has a job, pays taxes. You know people who actually MAKE the country.I truly do not understand how anyone in a country such as ours would wish death to a Justice of our Supreme Court. I understand one might well disagree with a Justice's position, statement or vote but to wish death on her......it is both disturbing and disappointing.
Other than his twitter page has made him so unpalatable that he could lose Texas.
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely voting for the guy and did back in 2016, but COME ON. This guy is up against rioters, open Marxists, and a candidate who cant string a decent sentence together unless its about kids rubbing his blonde leg hairs and he's LOSING. It's not even close (at least right now). He's down double digits in all the places that matter by all available information.
No disagreement there. I was talking about actual accomplishments, but then again alienating people is also an accomplishment, not a good one.Other than his twitter page has made him so unpalatable that he could lose Texas.

Except they're not. The polls in 2016 had Clinton edging Trump and then Clinton underperformed. Trump certainly didn't overperform. He won WI with fewer votes than Mitt Romney had in the state back in 2012.You mean like during the 2016 election?
LOL
Fuck the polls, they are meaningless.

Currently, even the most convservative polls have Trump barely keeping TX and losing a bunch of swing states by double digits.
If they ignore the information available and change nothing, he will lose.
You really think the Democrats are going to stay home a second time?
How many of those who were polled did not admit they would vote for President Trump? I know a ton of folks who are registered Dems only because of the stronghold they have on local governments, but they voted for Trump. How many want to stay Silent instead of having to justify voting for Trump? I don't care where these polls are coming from, I'd bet Trump has more of a following than voters care to admit.
I thought the exact same thing. I've heard many stories just like that, but when you look at the numbers, they just don't show the "silent majority" everyone is talking about. Trump performed on par generic republican. Clinton TANKED.Exactly!
i know shit loads of people who are deathly afraid of being labeled a trump supporter because they think it will hurt their career but come election time they will be very reliable trump voters
just the way it is unfortunately in a lot of places
Right but I don't think most people who vote for him are actually voting for him. He's openly acknowledged he's a transition candidate. They're voting for the VP and/or Joe's pen. The left understands he's basically dead, but they also understand that if they put up a small fuss he'll do their bidding. In 2016 Clinton wasn't liked because she wasn't left enough for the Bernie crowd and she was too corrupt and left for independents and conservatives. She also wasn't easily pushed around unless you made a very large donation to a certain foundation.Your whole argument is based on voter turn out though
I just don't see "uncle joe" as someone that's really going to take people away from whatever else they have going on ... on election day
obviously non-expert opinion but i don't see "uncle joe" doing any better than cankles did so i still don't think trump has to "overperform"
but, you're right with the assumption that there is a much higher turnout this time around imo
I think Kanye will help with this also
I don't think those are the selling points though. I believe the selling points to be "it's not Trump" and "All the Marxist laws you can shake a stick at"I don't disagree with you
but my point is still that it's hard to get excited about and get the associated turnout a guy who's main selling point is that he's almost dead lol
Trump is in trouble IMO. He has pissed of the housewife. In other words suburban moms don’t like him. Cannot overlook that. They cannot see past that emotional state and get analytical about it. I’ve heard this from multiple women.
To think the left is not going to show up unmotivated at the poles is wishful thinking. They are going to come by the bus load. Legal or illegal. Doesn’t matter. In democratic strongholds watch how many more people vote in a precinct than are registered and nothing will be done. They’ve been out for him for 4 years. This one they can make stick!!
That said I think the polling is off. I just don’t know by how much. Hopefully conservatives won’t sit on their Arses this election.
But that's where his primaries come in. He gets to claim the return to normal torch and I think those fence sitters are going to fall for that facade.I still think the fence sitters are going to sit out this time around just like they did last time around because uncle joe is so corrupt and so hard to get excited about; he's just too milk toast, creepy, and corrupt for the turnout he needs
Then don't buy it, 'cause we're not selling it. We don't pick up the phone to take surveys or polls, hang out near the entrance of Wally World hoping a pasty-faced pollster will come up and talk to us, nor do we respond to spammy emails. We have better shit to do with our time.I don't buy the idea that Trump has all of these supporters who are so afraid of being labeled as such that they lie in the polling data.
If that were true then they should have been incorrect for the past couple decades, not just 2016, no?Then don't buy it, 'cause we're not selling it.

Polls are, at best, a sample of the most useless 1% of the population. What's far more prevalent, given the poll lists from Siena, Marist and Quinnipiac, those polls consist of their Alumni- almost entirely DNC donors.
I didn’t know about that religious exemption either but it does nothing for religion if only applicable to churches. It is the individual that is entitled to religious freedom.I didn't know about the religious exemption, that's a good point. I agree with the rest of what you said. I guess unfortunately the point of the court is to interpret, so we can only hope judgements eventually approach the "truth".
The full decision basically says that a religious school who hires someone then that someone goes on to do things against the religion they can be fired even though its discriminationI didn’t know about that religious exemption either but it does nothing for religion if only applicable to churches.

I understand where you are coming from but keep this in mind.If that were true then they should have been incorrect for the past couple decades, not just 2016, no?
TBH, they shot a little high with Barry. Not easy to predict how big of a landslide that was when Romney was the best that got trotted out there. I was deployed for most of 00 and 04, and had way more important things to worry about, so I have no idea how far off they were for Dubya. But I do know they had Bush losing in 04, late in the race.If that were true then they should have been incorrect for the past couple decades, not just 2016, no?
Frankly, I'm on the side of decency. Back in 2015 Republicans blocked vote on the confirmation of Obama's SC pick because it was so close to the election that the decision should be left up to the voter. I tend to agree with the sentiment. Democrats play this game all the time. They set a standard then hold everyone but themselves to the standard. It's disgusting. I don't want either side playing that game.
EDIT: I didn't realize the standard was for the second term of presidency.
Yep. My wife is really pissed at him and sees him as a bully and says she will not vote for him, only good thing is she just says she will not vote at all.Trump is in trouble IMO. He has pissed of the housewife. In other words suburban moms don’t like him. Cannot overlook that. They cannot see past that emotional state and get analytical about it.

The standard for late term appointment is in the last six months of a second term. Not a first. And there is no standard, simply a course that the Senate has followed. But I believe in traditions. And if she holds out until July 2024 we will have to wait and let President Flynn appoint her replacement.
sirhr

The 19th Amendment is the most colossal mistake in the history of this countryYep. My wife is really pissed at him and sees him as a bully and says she will not vote for him, only good thing is she just says she will not vote at all.
Lol, like you know what those two words mean.The 19th Amendment is the most colossal mistake in the history of this country
My wife thinks similarly and I took advantage of one evening when she was watching riots in the news to rub her face into the shit that we will all be facing if the democrats win. And I was neither subtle nor gentle.
